Exercise self-restraint in dressing up, ladies

Some weeks ago, there was justifiable hue and cry about domestic violence, rape and murder being perpetrated against females.

At the height of that outrage, a female artiste who wrote and performed a song in support of that protest appeared on a television entertainment programme in what to me was a provocative outfit, which the evidence of my eyes tells me is the prevailing fashion.

Fast-forward a few weeks and the media have been carrying several images of women in revealing garb, often - but not always - in carnival mode. One young lady has commented that the way a woman dresses does not give a man the right to assault her, and she is right. Men have a responsibility to exercise self-control, decency and respect in relation to the opposite sex.
